Confident in Her Calling — Dr. Rashida Davis on Integrating Faith with Clinical Care

Where emotional safety meets biblical soundness—Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention® equips you to heal, lead, and serve with clarity and compassion.

Dr. Rashida Davis, Psychologist

One of the most common concerns therapists express when considering Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention® is this: "How do I bring faith into the room without crossing professional lines or sounding like I’m preaching?"

It’s a valid concern. For many clinicians, especially those working with diverse populations or in secular settings, the question isn't if faith matters—it’s how to engage it responsibly, ethically, and effectively.

Dr. Rashida Davis, a licensed psychologist and educator, knows this tension well. But through her time in the certification program, that tension began to shift into clarity—and confidence.

“Being part of the program has definitely had a positive impact on my work with clients and [pre-licensed] students,” she shared. “I feel more confident in my call and ability to incorporate biblical spirituality into the work I do, whether it's overtly or covertly.”

That nuance—learning when to bring biblical insight forward and how to do it without compromising professionalism—is exactly what the certification is designed to address.

A recent moment in her clinical work brought this into sharp focus.

“I was working with a client who was really struggling with anxiety. After processing her thoughts and feelings, exploring the roots of her fears, and discussing coping and overcoming, it was clear to me that this wasn’t just a psychological issue—it was a spiritual one.”

Because her client had already expressed openness to integrating faith, Dr. Davis was able to shift gears and bring that spiritual dimension into the session with care and clarity.

“We ended up praying together, and I was able to empower her not just to engage in deliverance, but to actually walk it out.”

That kind of outcome isn’t just about intuition—it’s about preparation. Dr. Davis credits the framework of the certification for giving her a structured, biblically sound way to navigate conversations around deliverance, spiritual identity, and healing without guessing or second-guessing.

“The main difference was having an outline for how to walk someone through deliverance. I felt more confident to go there and give her resources that would help her stay free.”

For therapists who’ve long wrestled with how to meet their clients spiritually while staying anchored in best clinical practices, her story is a powerful reminder: there is a way to do both. You don’t have to compromise your faith to honor your license. And you don’t have to ignore your spiritual discernment in the name of neutrality.

You just need a framework—and a little courage to follow the call.
